Mary, I really doubt if you could work any harder! I'm not lazy, but
reading your e-mails makes me tired. If it were not for your computer, I'm
afraid you would over do it!
I was under the impression from what I have heard from others that a lot of
characteristics change from the seedling stage to the mature plant, but once
a hosta had red petioles, it kept them. Not true? Do hostas keep the red
petioles most of the time?
